"TJ would never let the one good thing in his life go and that one thing is Cyrus Goodman."
Hello and welcome to Tyrus One Shots! Let me know what you think and leave a comment below about different ideas for one shots :)
They are on a little hiatus right now so I decided to write something to help time pass by :)
Cyrus' POV
Today is the day.
A day I have been waiting for a while now.
TJ and I are going to actually going on a date.
A first date at that.
I'm excited yet frustrated. I have to tell my mom or dad I'm somewhere else whenever I want to hang out with him because TJ is "not a good influence" on me. My parents just doesn't see the TJ I know. The good side (which is also the intimidating side) is the one that always make me happy at the end of the day. He is a good guy and I know he is.
"Bye mom! I'm going to hang out with Buffy and Andi at the carnival! I'll be home soon!" I yell as I'm walking out the door.
I don't like to lie about anything because though I love my parents, I'm not out yet and I want to see if what I feel for TJ is genuine. Are we more than crazy unpredictable moments?
Plus, I am technically going to the carnival with them...I just won't be with them the whole time there.
Yeah. Talk yourself up Cyrus. You're good.
She tells me to be safe and to be careful and to text her every two hour which is what she always tells me leaving.
Buffy's outside with Andi and we all start walking to the carnival.
Buffy on my left and Andi on my right. I'm in a Best Friend sandwich and I love it.
"Are you excited?! You have to be excited!" Andi says doing a little jump in her step.
"I really am!" I say excitedly. "I'm also really nervous. Am I too nervous? My hands. Are they sweaty?!" I say and I press one hand to each of their cheeks. They laugh and move their hands.
"Cyrus. It's okay to be nervous. TJ just better not be messing with you. "Buffy says scowling.
Andi gasps. "If he is messing with you, I will be really upset."
"Guys, TJ is not like that. I promise." I say reassuringly.
We finally reach the carnival and we get our tickets and head inside. There's so much you can do that I am not sure where to start. I see the Ferris Wheel, look up, and I gulp.
Heights are definitely a part of my "stuff" still.
Buffy and Andi spot Jonah and Walker and wave them over to us. While they start talking, I excuse myself to call TJ to see where he's at. Andi and Buffy give knowing looks but I just shake my head and walk a couple steps away from them.
As the phone rings, someone whispers in my ear "Who ya calling muffin?"
I jump and my phone flies out of my hand. I clutch my chest and hear a chuckle and turn around to see no one other then the one I was looking for.
TJ Kippen
I pretend to scowl as he picks up my phone and gives me a smile and I smile back.
Yup. Way more feelings in this moment than I ever had with Iris. This is real.
I elbow him and after talking for a bit, we decided to start walking around together. I wave bye to Andi and Buffy and they raise their eyebrows up and down, laugh and walk away with the boys.
We start playing different carnival games and though it was a little awkward at first, by the time we got to the second carnival game, everything felt so..right.
We were laughing and joking about anything and everything. We were making fun of Metcalf and it felt great. It was one of the times that made me feel so alive.
It felt as if he was pushing me on the swings or on the dirtbike or even when I did my first somersault all over again. I feel alive.
All moments when I feel alive always happen when I'm with him.
We were currently at this pool ping pong game. There was mainly white cups but also different colored little cups swirling around in an oval and if you get any of the colored cups, you win a stuffed animal instantly.
TJ misses all his shots and I had one more ping pong ball left. I instantly felt a little nervous. There was a cute little cat and though I'm not really lucky at these things, I kinda wanted it.
I must have been staring at it for a while because TJ grabbed my shoulders and turned me around to him and said
"Win the prize like you already own it. Just like the chocolate chip muffin" .
With that inspiring me, I concentrated and with my noodle strength, the ball went up and it landed in a blue cup.
I won it.
I won the cute cat.
I start jumping up and down and he hugged me. The crazy part was when he picked me up when I was hugging him and he spun me around. It was so great.
Way better than a chest bump.
After I got the cat and thanked the worker at the game, I saw TJ staring at me and smiling.
I smile back and look at my watch. It's 7:30, but it's a school night and my mom's last text said she wants me home by 8. I was upset that I would have to go home soon. Once I told TJ that, he said that he understood and said he "wanted to end the night right".
"Come on, let's go on the Ferris Wheel" TJ said and I froze. He knows heights are a part of my stuff.
"I know heights are a part of your "stuff". We don't have to go on it but I always want you to face your fears. We can do it."
Tonight was going great and if I always feel alive when I am with him, then why should I stop myself?
"Lets do it TJ" I say confidently even though I was not that confident at all.
We get in line and run into Andi, Buffy, Jonah and Walker. TJ looked a little uncomfortable at first talking to them but things got better since the wait was about 15 minutes.
"Hey umm...Amber isn't working the ferris wheel right?" Andi asked while looking around.
"No." Buffy said laughing a little.
"Why would she be controlling it?" Jonah asked confused.
"No reason!" Andi said quickly. I shook my head.
Once we got on, I felt good because we were at the bottom nice and calm. When we got closer to the top, I saw the the whole town and it was amazing. It was great.
It was scary.
I gripped the bars a little bit harder and TJ put his arm around me. I relaxed a little until the ferris wheel stopped.
We stopped.
At the top.
I feel the life draining from the face. TJ pulled me even closer to him and he put his hand over mine. That made me even more nervous. I gulped.
"TJ. Please talk to me about something. Anything."
TJ told me about how he was having a great time and that he was glad we could do this. I felt all these butterflies. I felt what I knew I would being with him up here...
Alive.
We finally get down and everyone is waiting for us at the bottom. I notice it's 7:45 and that I really need to start walking to get home.
Andi and Buffy asked if I was ready to leave but I said I wanted to talk to TJ right quick before they walk me home. They nod and I pull TJ by the hand to the side behind a booth where no one could really see us. One light glowing. Kinda creepy but we went with it.
I notice that he was blushing and that made me blush. I hear Andi and Buffy squeal and I laugh a little.
I thank TJ for the great time and I hugged him. He hugged me back and it felt like forever but it was only like a minute.
After we finish hugging, we say goodbye. I went to walk away but TJ grabbed my hand, pulled me back, and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek. Before I could even process it, he stuck his hands in his pockets and walked away. I smiled and walked back to Andi and Buffy and we all walked home while I explained small things. I left the kiss out though. That felt..sacred.
Tonight was amazing. I can't wait to feel alive again. Thank you TJ.
